Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion Mark Perrin Biography 35 years of Engineering, Information Technology and Finance experience in upstream oil and gas Increases value clients receive from their investments in analytics Assists oil and gas companies to implement EPAP Manages projects that arise from opportunities to leverage technology 2 2
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion Objectives High-level overview of asset and facility lifecycle analysis Benefits of adopting lifecycle analysis into – reliability engineering – maintenance management 3
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion Presentation Outline Why pay attention Impact on risk management Where is lifecycle analysis used Lifecycle analysis techniques Benefits for upstream Implementation challenges A reasonable approach Conclusions Next steps Questions 4
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion Why Pay Attention To Lifecycle Analysis 5
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion Why Pay Attention Value for Risk Management – Unplanned outages impact cash flow – Missed targets undermine investor confidence 6
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion Why Pay Attention Assets and facilities are complex Components have a lifecycle 7
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion Lifecycle Analysis – The Bathtub Curve 8
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion Where is Lifecycle Analysis Used 9 Downstream Aviation Military Automotive
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion Lifecycle Analysis Techniques Weibull distribution is a leading method – Works for small samples – Accounts for components that have not failed Other commonly used life distributions – Exponential – Lognormal – Normal 10
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion Lifecycle Analysis Answers Where is this component in its lifecycle? When can I expect it to fail? How many failures can I expect? Which component should I choose? 11
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion Benefits for Upstream Facility Maintenance Trigger: – Unplanned outage to replace a component Answer the questions: – Should I replace other major components? – What spare parts should I have? 12
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion Benefits for Upstream Well Maintenance Trigger: – Service rig mobilized to repair a well in a field Answer the questions: – Should I service adjacent wells? – What spare parts should I have? 13
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion Benefits for Upstream Downhole Pump Design Trigger: – Problematic run life Answer the question: – What is the impact on run life of speed, pump size? 14
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion Benefits for Upstream Planning And Budgeting Trigger: – Prepare maintenance budget Answer the question: – How much should I budget this year for well and facility maintenance? 15
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion Benefits for Upstream Planning And Budgeting Trigger: – Prepare production forecast Answer the question: – What is the predicted availability? 16
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion Implementation Challenges Inconsistent method of reporting failures by Field Staff Inconsistent historic data 17 Failure descriptionAverage of Run Down Hole Pump Failure689 PC pump210 Pump Change1014 Pump Failure552 Pump will not start160 Seized pump35
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion Implementation Challenges Enrolling Staff Discover the value of consistent reporting – Meet or exceed production targets – Improve run life – Reduce operating and maintenance costs Agree on consistent reporting – Level of detail – Set of descriptions 18
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion A Reasonable Approach Identify Opportunities Operations staff know where the problem areas are Prioritize based on impact on cash flow 19
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion A Reasonable Approach Data Availability What systems are collecting data How consistent is the reporting Who owns component lifecycle data 20
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion A Reasonable Approach Data Cleanup A great position for a summer student Who is responsible – A cross division and cross functional effort. – Who pays 21
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion A Reasonable Approach Pilot Pick an area where the field staff are enthusiastic Pick a sub-set of problematic components 22
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion A Reasonable Approach Pilot Start with Excel-based analysis 23
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion A Reasonable Approach Pilot Consider more sophisticated systems – Microsoft Azure ML – Tableau or Spotfire with R – MatLab 24
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion A Reasonable Approach Implement Prioritize areas Roll-out area by area Include learnings from previous areas 25
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion Conclusions Attention to asset and facility lifecycle analysis can: – Reduce the risk of unplanned outages – Increase cash flow certainty – Improve certainty of well and facility availability – Increase the accuracy of forecasts 26
Corvelle Drives Concepts to Completion Next Steps Ask: – Is your company already performing lifecycle analysis? – If not, are there problematic components? – Is there an appetite? – Do you have expertise? Get help: – Canvass your peers for experience – Engage a suitable consultant 27
